Before the diplomas are awarded, a short program will include sev- eral student orations and musical numbers. Numbering sixty-eight, this class entered high school in 1938, and has met all the trials and triumphs experienced by other classes. They had their skating parties, junior Prom, Senior Dance, senior plays, and now graduation, which climaxes these four years of class activities and hard work. In Ourselves the Future Lies, the class motto, can never be truer than it is today, when one's place in the world depends so much on just himself alone.

A. R. GIRL From a field of four candi- dates, Catherine Engkraf, Clara Hedlind, Betty Singletary, and Margaret Buswell, Catherine was chosen to represent Tigard in the D. A. R. contest. This selection is based on citizenship, leadership, dependability, serv- ice, patriotism, and scholarship. The Daughters of the Amer- ican Revolution sponsor this con- test annually and from the girls representing Oregon high schools, one is chosen as Oregon's dele- gate to the national convention. This year Barbara Guderian, from Pendleton high school, won the honor.
